Leder Games will be releasing the latest game set in the Root universe this Fall. In Ahoy, players will compete on the high seas as swashbuckling faction aiming to complete their own unique objectives. The game is for two to four players, ages 14+, plays in around 45 to 75 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $40.00 when it arrives in the Fall.
About the game:
In Ahoy, players will be swashbucklers and soldiers seeking fame on the high seas. As you play, you’ll make a unique map full of treasure troves, dangerous wreckage, and mighty sea currents, using deluxe, double-layer region tiles.
Ahoy is a lightly asymmetrical game in which players start in a playing area composed of a few tiles, with each tile being divided into a 2×2 grid that features water, land, and various icons.
When playing with only two, one player controls The Bluefin Squadron and the other The Mollusk Union, and you’ll compete to control different areas of the revealed terrain, with exploration revealing new lands over which to fight. When you add a third or fourth player, they each act as smugglers who are trying to pick up various items and deliver them to indicated areas. If the items or areas aren’t visible, then you better start exploring to turn them up!
Play as the…
- Bluefin Squadron, a company of sharks and their toothy friends, who keep order with shot and sword.
- Mollusk Union, an alliance of undersea creatures and their loyal comrades, who fight to reclaim their home.
- Smugglers, maverick captains who run blockades to deliver cargo to those with the most need—or coin.
